Out again Friday Suggs (knee) will not play Friday against the 76ers.

Impact Suggs, who is nursing a MCL contusion, will be sidelined for a fourth straight game. The Magic continue to rule him out a day in advance of games, so he can be considered doubtful for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Won't play Wednesday Suggs (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Impact Suggs sustained a Grade 1 MCL contusion in Friday's loss to the Bulls and will miss his third consecutive contest Wednesday. His next opportunity to play will come Friday against the 76ers. With the 24-year-old point guard sidelined, Tyus Jones and Jase Richardson are candidates for an uptick in minutes.

Diagnosed with MCL contusion Suggs was diagnosed with a Grade 1 MCL contusion in his right knee following the Magic's 121-114 loss to the Bulls on Friday.

Impact There isn't a clear timeline for Suggs' return, as it will depend on how his knee reacts to treatment. However, a Grade 1 injury typically doesn't carry a long recovery timeline, so he can be considered day-to-day unless the Magic say otherwise. Orlando's next game takes place Sunday against Indiana, and if Suggs is unable to play, then Tyus Jones would be the top candidate to enter the Magic's starting five.

Doesn't return Friday Suggs did not return to the Magic's 121-114 loss to the Bulls on Friday. He finished with 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal over 20 mi...

Impact Suggs sustained a knee injury during the third quarter of Friday's loss and was not cleared to return after being evaluated by medical staff. He'll undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury, but it puts Suggs in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game against the Pacers. Anthony Black has started in each of the Magic's last 11 games in the absence of Franz Wagner (ankle), so Tristan da Silva figures to be the top candidate to enter Orlando's starting lineup if Suggs were to miss time.

Questionable to return Friday Suggs is questionable to return to Friday's game against the Bulls due to a right knee strain.

Impact Suggs suffered the injury in the third quarter, and it seems if he'll be able to return to action. If Suggs is unable to play, then expect Tyus Jones and Jase Richardson to see more playing time in the backcourt next to Anthony Black.

Collects three steals in return Suggs (hip) tallied 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three steals across 25 minutes in Wednesday's 112-110 win over the Pacers.

Impact Suiting up for the first time since Dec. 13 following a seven-game absence due to a left hip contusion, Suggs reclaimed his spot in the starting five but operated with a slight minutes restriction. A 46.6 percent shooter from the field for the season, Suggs exhibited some rustiness on the offensive end, but he was able to offset his shooting woes to some degree by delivering three steals in his return. The Magic will likely monitor Suggs' playing time carefully over the next few games, but he should eventually settle into a near-30-minute role once the hip issue is further in the rear-view mirror.

Will play Wednesday Suggs (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Wednesday's return is wrapping up a seven-game absence due to a left hip contusion for Suggs, who could have his minutes monitored by the Magic. Over his last eight appearances before going down, Suggs was heating up with averages of 17.1 points, 5.0 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 2.4 steals and 2.1 three-pointers per game.

Questionable against Indiana Suggs (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Suggs is trying to end a seven-game absence with a left hip contusion. Tyus Jones would likely continue to start at point guard in the event that Suggs is unable to gain clearance for action, which should be determined closer to Wednesday's tipoff.
